Color recipe prediction by Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, a new method for color recipe prediction is proposed by applying Genetic Algorithm. This method is able to do both spectrophotometric and colorimetric color matching based on its fitness function. It is shown that the problem of the limitation of colorant numbers in colorimetric color matching can be solved. In addition, this algorithm is capable of decreasing the color difference under second illuminant and reduces metamerism problem by applying a fitness function based on the color differences under two illuminants.
